Good for you dude!

Yeah it's for real. Basically premium bonds are like a lottery, except your ticket doesn't ever run out. It's run by the government and every month all the bonds are in a draw for prize money, which is made up of the interest accrued on the money in the bonds. Prize breakdown is:

Higher value prizes
(6% of prize fund)
£1 million
£100,000
£50,000
£25,000
£10,000
£5,000

Medium value prizes
(5% of prize fund)
£1,000
£500

Lower value prizes
(89% of prize fund)
£100
£50
£25

So as you can see, Dauntless is a lucky homo

I wanna be a lucky homo too! D: Checked my lotto numbers. Got 2/7 aka nothing. Some lucky schmuck won over 4 mil last night. Yet again I have to postpone my DB9 order. Darn.

And I thought I was lucky when my £5s of bonds won me £50....

I now have £55 in bonds, funny since I think the minimum you can buy these days is £100....

So if I understand these things correctly, you don't get any interest on them, but instead you could win money? And presumably the more bonds you own, the better chance you have of winning?

I'm actually really stoked for you dude, 's'awesome. Those other feelings are there too but I'm still happy for you. Spend it on something awesome.

Could not say it better myself.
